My '94 made it through Hurricane Odile without a scratch.
The roof stayed on the carport but the cover blew off.
She's been dent-free for 20 years so that streak continues!

Sweet! Gimme some details, does that cap thread right on? I have a faucet pump on my outer water can but this could come in handy for my interior water cans.

The first pic is everything you need. One Sceptre water can and one Solo 430 2-G. It comes with that large bottle and another small sprayer bottle which is equally handy for hot days. Literally just unscrew the cap from the Sceptre and screw on the cap from the Solo jug. Give it a bunch of pumps to pressurize the Sceptre and start spraying. Its not a strong, gushing stream but it will let you wash dishes, rinse off your dusty feet and even take a quickie shower. The wand has several attachments and several others you can purchase as options.
My assistant and I replaced my rear grab handle with two rock climbing bolt hangers. They look great, are very sturdy and I can hang anything I want from them with a carabinier or a quickdraw which could also be used as a handle if needed.
Picked up two led lights from my local Ace hardware for $6 each. Mounted them in the rear seatbelt bolt location. The magnetic base was a perfect fit behind the panel and through the existing hole. They are battery operated with a push button switch, adjustable so I can aim the lights where I want them, and they detach from the base so they can be used like a flashlight. Much better with light in the cargo area, the lights are much brighter in person than the picture shows, they will blind you if you look right at them.
Added d-rings to the rear panels. They won't hold anything heavy, but I can put a strap across them to hold groceries or other loose items in place.
Installed the yotateq antenna mount, now just need my antenna and cable to arrive so those can be mounted as well.
Replaced the rear gate carpet and cardboard that was falling apart with PVC panel. Used doorman vinyl nuts mounted in the fastener holes then trim screws through the panel into the nuts. Looks pretty good if I do say so myself.

Pictures of the PVC panel installed on the rear gate and a few more of the lights I used.
D-rings mounted in rear cargo panels. Not the strongest location, but adds another tie down point if needed. I did add a wood block behind the mount for strength.

Tore down the DS knuckle to repair a broken birf and rebuild the axle. Had a crazy Hungarian on hand to provide moral support and beer fetching. This was taken around midnight after WAY to many beers...

Your Cruiser has the best paint job on the forums by far.

nice light Mod JeraCruz - any link to those lights and mounts? also like the bolt hangers, those aren't going anywhere : )
Not on the weekend, but I extended my keyless entry antenna and cleaned up a sunroof drain yesterday. My keyless entry is actually useful now! 
Hamishpotter they are blazing ledz pivot work lights. The base comes with the light and has a magnet on the back. I had planned to find LEDs to mount in the rear speaker locations but found these on a whim at the check out counter of Ace hardware. They fit perfectly where I mounted them and the light comes off making for a handy flashlight. I will probably buy some more in case these ever die, but for as little as they will be on they should last quite a while. I am very happy with the bolt hangers as well. They are sturdy and will hold plenty of weight.

Played with cummins... not quite running right. Injectors got pulled and dropped off for testing.
